Sovereign citizens believe they're untouchable. But as these cases reveal, being entitled doesn't erase handcuffs, citations, or a ride to jail. Here are five cases when entitled sovereign citizens think they're above the law. Number five, when claiming to be a sovereign citizen doesn't stop an arrest. On March 5th, 2024, officers in Florida noticed a vehicle parked at a gas station with an obstructed license plate. Not long after, they clocked the same car speeding 10 mi over the limit, prompting the authorities to conduct a traffic stop. Here's what came next. How you doing? >> How are you? >> Good.

So, where are you from, ma'am? California. >> California. All right. You do have a California valid driver's license. >> Okay. You do. All right. You want to step out for me real quick? I'm just I want to figure out your driver's license situation. Okay. >> Why you? >> Cuz I want you to step out of the car. >> You're not going to let you step out of the vehicle. >> You ain't going to step out of the vehicle. >> Why can't I stay in the car if you look at my electric? >> Excuse me. >> Step out of the vehicle. I ain't playing this game. Let's do what about? Step out. Hands behind your back. >> Keep your hands behind your back. Face it from the door. >> Just minutes after the stop begins, she's restrained in handcuffs, and the officer wastes no time showing he means business. Come here. You got weapons on you? >> Come on. Take a seat. Take a seat. Step out of the vehicle. The train's mind back. You're just being detained. Okay. >> Okay. >> I appreciate your cooperation. >> All right. >> I'm just along for the ride. >> I I got you. >> Who push you? >> She's a friend. >> Sit back.

Like your ID? >> You want to speak to a lieutenant? >> Lieutenant N. She wants to speak with you. Sitting in the cruiser seems to spark a new tactic. Now comes the questions, excuses, and anything she thinks might undo her arrest. But all it does is start another argument with the officers. >> Show me your badge. >> No, you're not stepping >> your badge and your ID. >> No, you're not stepping out. Okay. >> Show me your badge and your ID. >> She's trying to Samantha. She's trying to >> I would like to see his badge and his ID. >> First of all, keep >> No. Listen. >> No. Listen. >> All right.

So, you're you're admitting you're admitting drinking alcohol. Just wait. Wait. Just wait. Let me finish and then I'll let you talk. >> That seems to quiet her down, but it doesn't mean she's actually listening to what the officers are saying. >> I pulled you over cuz you don't have a tag attached to the outside of your vehicle that's displayed outside the vehicle. Okay. >> You can't see it, right? >> So, I smell alcohol. I saw I don't know what she I don't know. Um I smell the alcohol, >> but you can't see it's covered up cuz I'm moving right now. >> Yeah.

There we go. >> Do you remember what I asked you? >> Anything you want? >> Well, I asked you for your driver's license and you handed me a vape pen and then you dumped out your purse and then you looked at your driver's license and didn't hand it to me. So, that's where I'm at. At this point, the driver simply won't respond, choosing silence over answering the officer's questions or acknowledging the stop. >> Is this your car, Caitlyn? >> Hello? Is this your car? >> Do you know why I stopped you? You made a right on red at Hillyard Madison, floored it, went through the red light at McKinley. Then you turned on the Riverside, didn't use a turn signal. Then you started making a left turn and then turned your signal on kind of like as you were making your left turn. Made a wide right turn around the curve and I smell alcohol. You can't tell me where you're coming from. You're handing me a vape pen instead of a driver's license.

Obviously. >> Obviously. Yeah. >> Not good for you either. >> What's that? >> Not good for you either. >> I know. So, I don't appreciate you kicking at us. >> Oh my god. >> So, now we're going to hog tie you like a dog anyway. >> So, now we're going to hog tug you like a dog.

There's no dust. >> When the officer is finished handling her, the woman sits in the back seat of the patrol car where it seems the weight of her mistake has finally hit her. But tears won't erase what's already been done. >> I need to go look somewhere. >> No, I think this is probably old. >> Yeah, it's old. >> She's a winner, though. >> You're right. I'm sorry. Please. Please. >> I'm really sorry. Please. I'm really sorry. Please. >> I just want my mom. Please. Please. Please. It hurts. It hurts. Please please please. I want my mom. I want my mom. I want my mom.

I want my mom. >> No, I want my mom. I want my mom. You can't tell me to do anything. I want my mom. I want Lana. We're not. >> Well, you can call her from the station. >> No, thank you. >> Let me out of the door. >> Oh, nothing.

What? >> I did not commit a crime. >> I didn't say you committed a crime. I said you committed an infraction. A civil infraction. So, don't make it worse than what it is. That's all I'm saying. >> I didn't commit a civil infrastructure. >> Yes, sir. I got you show you on the radar at 55 and a 40. >> Can I see the radar? >> No, sir. You cannot. >> Then how can you prove that I was speeding? >> We go to court and the judge hears my side. Here's your side. That's how we prove it in the state of Florida. In the state of Florida, I'm not allowed to lock the speeds in. There's nothing that shows on my radar right now. State of Florida right now. >> Roby, back up. Give me a supervisor. Jesus Christ. A traffic ticket was all he was facing until he chose not to cooperate. Repeating that he did nothing wrong. At this rate, the stop could end with far more than just a citation. >> You're talking to me. Yeah. I'm sorry. Go ahead, sir. >> You were saying I didn't hear what you saying cuz you're talking to me. I was not. >> Yes, sir. I have you on the radar. And that's my I'm saying you were you saying you weren't.

I said you committed a similar crime. >> Yes, sir. Okay, that's my side. I legally pulled you over. So, that's what I'm allowed to do. You're required by law to show me your license. You have a license. >> I'm sorry, sir. >> Why am I being detained? >> Yes, sir. You are. >> Why am I being detained? >> Cuz you you're speeding. That's not a crime. >> I didn't say it was a crime. >> You You're being detained, sir. Don't try and leave that. You'll then commit a crime then. Actually, not not identifying yourself after I asked for it illegally. It's actually a crime. So, yeah. So, you want to identify yourself or not? >> You're saying that I I failed to identify myself as a crime >> because I legally stopped you. Now, you're interfering with my investigation. See? >> So, who are you investigating? >> You >> then how do you know? Then who am I? >> You won't identify. Are you I'm I'm just asking for an ID. That's all I'm asking for. You want to give me an ID? >> I mean, really, you want to go this route? >> What route? >> All I'm asking for is an ID. >> Crime. I didn't say you committed a crime, sir.

What's your name, sir? >> I didn't commit a crime. What did I do? What? What's your reasonable suspicion? >> He's refused to identify himself. It says he's traveling. >> So, you don't want give me ID and don't want to identify yourself. Correct. >> You don't want to identify yourself. I'm asking you if you want to identify yourself. You You're refusing. I'm just asking. It's on camera. So, you want to identify yourself, sir? Unless you suspect me of committing a crime, officer, I do not have to identify myself. >> Yes, sir. You do. You're required to in the state of Florida. Provide me ID when I pull you over illegally. You've been stopped for speeding. I've explained it to you. >> But I have a witness here.

No problem at all. But you don't want to identify yourself. >> Both continue to insist they weren't speeding and had no reason to be stopped. But the radar tells a different story. To keep them from fleeing, officers place a stopper under the wheel. >> Are you refusing to identify yourself? >> I'm sorry, ma'am. I I'm sorry. I can't hear you. Really loud. >> Yes, ma'am. He was. >> Yes, ma'am. He was. >> I was not excusing. I was not speeding. You pull up behind me. I pull out there. Pull out in front of a car. I pull out. I turn my indicator on.

So, >> if you would have just given the ID, we that that would have been an issue. >> But I wasn't speeding. I was not speeding. The officer is lying. He can't prove that I was speeding. >> He he can prove that you were speeding. He has radar in his car. >> And I was not speeding. I have a witness who was right there beside me. I was not speeding. >> That's that's something that you had to fight in court. You can't fight on the side of the street. >> I wasn't fighting it on the side of the street. I was asking him to articulate what his suspicion was. >> But you failing to identify yourself. >> Okay. That is a crime. >> How did I fail to identify myself?

But you then failing to identify yourself, that is the crime. That is what created this whole mess. If you would have just given your ID, you would have been on your way right now, but now you're going to go to jail. Okay? And you actually got a felony as well. Okay? So, I'm trying to explain to you what's going on and that's that's what's going on. Okay? We have now we have your ID. Okay.

You just roll out the door. >> Who's this? Who's this guy to you? >> Who is this guy to you? >> That's my boyfriend. >> It's your boyfriend. Okay, cool. So, he's going to be going to jail. Okay. >> So, >> well, first off, he has no valid driver's license. Okay. He failed to identify himself. So, it's obstruction and also resisting with violence. Okay. So, he's going to go to jail for a felony and a couple misdemeanor. >> For a felony and a couple misdemeanors. Okay. So, all he had to do was identify himself and he would have got a ticket and been on his way. You both would have been on your way. All right. Is this your vehicle? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, we're going to be impounding your vehicle as well. >> Okay. >> Why? >> Because it was used in the commission of a crime. >> What crime? >> It's the resisting with violence, the driving with no license, the obstruction. >> All right.
